If a RB crosses the LOS at 15 mph, running in a straight line towards the end zone, and the S/CB is 5 yards upfield, but 20 yards further inside. Assuming an average velocity of 17.5 mph (and no change in RB velocity), what would be the optimal angle to take to reach the RB before he scores (assuming no other forces or obstacles are involved)?

Bonus #1: Who would be the best player(s) to hide behind as he walked back to the bench if he chose the wrong angle (again)?

Bonus #2: Will it really matter who he tries to hide behind?

Bonus #3:  Who invented metal benches to replace wooden benches so as to reduce the amount of splinters said S/CB might develop as a result of his poor mathematical aptitude?

Just for shits and giggles...Answer for Bonus #3: No clear individual or entity, but father and son John and Jeff Jenkins patented the first [I]heated [/I]benches for use in the NFL in the mid to late 1970s. First Teams to utilize these? [ISPOILER]Eagles, Packers, Browns and Bills.[/ISPOILER]
